  • Page 37: Power-On Self-Test

    C H A P T E R Power-On Self-Test This chapter describes how to initiate power-on self-test (POST) diagnostics. POST is a firmware program that can help determine if a portion of the system has failed. POST verifies the core functionality of the system, including operation the CPU, motherboard, memory, and some on-board I/O devices.

  • Page 38: How To Use Post

    Note – Both POST and OpenBOOT PROM on Sun Blade 150 systems report the CPU as an UltraSPARC IIe processor. The CPU in your system is an UltraSPARC IIi processor. How to Use POST When the workstation power is applied, POST runs automatically if both of the following conditions apply: The diag-switch? NVRAM parameter is set to true.

    A of the system you plan to test to another Sun workstation monitor or a TTY-type terminal. Note – There is a second serial port (serial port B) on the Sun Blade 150 system riser card. However, you will need a special connector and cable, and you will need an empty PCI card slot to access the serial port.

  • Page 40: Disconnecting A Tip Connection

    1. Open a terminal (shell) window. 2. Type eeprom. 3. Verify the following serial port default settings: tty-mode = 9600,8,n,1 Note – Ensure that the settings are consistent with TTY-type terminal or workstation monitor settings. Sun Blade 150 Service Manual • June 2002...
